Villain CO: VPIP: 25 PFR: 20 WTS: 26 AF: 2.0 C-Bets: 74 fold to 3-bets: 72% Sample: 8k Hands - No Reads

Villain: UTG: 46/3 100hands

Villain BB: 77/6 250hands

Pre I thought that by 3betting I give a away a ton of value, since CO folds so often to 3bets and my action would look really really strong. I decided to flatcall to get the fish in the pot and extract value postflop. The downside is that the pot can easily become 4handed which isnt that nice. Still I decided to just call for the stated reasons. what you think about that first?

Flop play. I think leading out here is better, because PFA is not that likely to cbet this board here with overcards and I dont want it to be checked around.

PFA is gonna raise here prob. with 44, TT+ at least and against that + nut hands I have great EQ.

I don´t like pre that much.
U are oop and its most likely gonna be a 3 way pot. Multiway ure Equity with Aces always sinks vs. HU Pot. Plus if u 3bet there is still a chance that UTG will overcall it.
Postflop i´d donk to but i prefer a small 3bet over shove. Cause if u shove u have no draws other than 44 in ur Range. So he an get away from TT+ if u shove.

I don't like preflop too much either.
It's not even about the equity, yes, it shrinks.
But there is also more money in the pot, so in a vacuum calling preflop could even be better than 3betting.
But we have massive reverse implied odds and we rarely have implied odds since mostly the money goes on on the flop in 60:40 situations against draws.
In a 4way pot even fishes might recognize that if we barrel several times on a dry board that TP might not be good.

And in fact I think a 3bet preflop actually isn't superstrong. Assuming CO isolates somewhat light it would be a good spot for us to 3betbluff.

As played on this flop I would probably get it in vs CO, too.
Our lead looks strong but we rep a small range and as you say he might stack off with TT+ or JJ+.
